Force 30 Families To
Abandon Residences
By UNITED PRESS
Fresh rains today threatened
to pelt water-logged southern Il
linois where heavy rainfalls al
ready forced 40 families to aban
don their homes in the path of
flooded waterways.
A small corps of trucks and
motorboats carried families en
camped on the banks of the Lit
tle Wabash river in southeastern
Illinois to safety Thursday and
early today. Fed by heavy rains
which followed recent off-season
tornadoes into the area, the river
was expected to crest at 34 feet
today.
Livestock Endangered
Authorities said the biggest
difficulty confronting the evac
uees was getting their livestock
to safety. Farther north on the
Little Wabash, only three fam
ilies were forced to leave their
homes by minor flooding.
Meanwhile, at Murphysboro,

Tennessee Judge
To Use Radio, TV
To Answer Charge
Chattanooga, Tenn. (TO
Judge Raulston Schoolfield said
today he will answer in a radio
and television address testimony
that implied he accepted bribes
to quash indictments against 13
Chattanooga teamsters.
He said his answer to these
charges tonight will be "all-encompassing"
and "national in im
port." Schoolfield, 52-year-old crim
inal court judge, and a politician
with a lust-for-battle reputation,
planned to go on local radio and
television tonight to rebut the
testimony. Witnesses told the
Senate Rackets Committee that
money changed hands to free
teamsters accused of using vio
lence to spur an organized drive.
"My guilt or innocence is not
at stake," Schoolfield saidbut
he promised a formal statement
that would be "pretty all-encompassing."
He indicated his speech
also would deal with tentative
efforts to disbar and impeach
him.
To Call Names, Places
"What I have to say," School
field added, "is national in im
port." Four days ago he prom
ised to "call the names and
places no matter the concern or
how high the places."
Schoolfield, a 1954 segrega
tionist candidate for governor,
made headlines earlier this
month when Raymond Hixson, a
Tennessee deputy fire marshal,
testified there was "quite a bit
of talk" that the judge was paid
$18,500 to quash an indictment
against the Chattanooga team
sters. The State Supreme Court over
ruled Schoolfield. But in a new
trial he directed a verdict of ac
quittal for the defendants, who
included Glenn Smith, president
of Chattanooga Local 515.
